Description




Inside, the space features a pool table, though the environment is heavily defined by unpredictable rules. Patrons report facing selective entry guidelines and confrontational staff. These boundary checks range from refusing to serve tap water to paying customers unless everyone in the party orders a drink, to sudden accusations and arbitrary ejections. While the venue functions as a local hangout, navigating the staff's shifting enforcement is a central part of the visit.
